The several cams operate through connections which may be noted, so faras necessary, when describing the parts moved thereby. Considering,first, the improved mold, c c are the movable members thereof.

0' is the soft-metal portion of the fixed section of the mold, and c care the hardened face-plates of the same. These parts are assembled, asshown best in Figs. 1, 10, 11, and 12, with the movable members 0 cclamped down to the fixed member by a spring-bar c having a boss 0,which bears on the three movable parts, as shown best in Fig. 12. Thespring-bar c is made fast at its ends to posts 0 rising from thesoft-metal portion of the fixed mold-section. The body of the bar 0rests with a loose fit in a suitable seat countersunk in the backs orupper surfaces of the movable members a. The plunger member 0 isembraced by the members 0', and the said three parts are yieldinglyclamped together bya headed draw-bolt c and a spring 0". The saiddraw-bolt 0 works through thimble-like sections 0 in the 1nold-blocks'cand forming tersunk recess 0 at the outer end of one of saidthimblesections 0 The draw-bolt 0 works through a slot 0 in themold-plunger c,

and the said plunger 0 is also reduced, as shown at 0 for affordingclearance to permit the plunger to move under the clamping-bar 0 Themold-sections c are recessed, as shown at c, to afford water-jacketingchambers. The part c and one of the face-plates c are also recessed toafford a similar waterchamber 0 in one pair of the cooperating partscand 0 hen the parts of the mold are in casting position, as shown inFigs. 10 and 11, the water-chambers 0 and 0 will be directly behind allthe surfaces of the mold which cooperate with the plunger 0 to form themoldcell. VVateris circulated through the jacketiug-chambers e and 0 bymeans of circu lating-pipes 0 0". Of these circulating-pipes the supplymembers 0 are arranged to de liver the supply of cold water directlyagainst the back surfaces of the walls which cooperate to form themold-cell, while the waste or exhaust members 0 are arranged to draw offthe water from points in said chambers most remote from the backs of theparts forming the walls of the mold!- cell. This detail in thearrangement of said circulating-pipes insures the best effect from thecooling-water.

It is of course necessary for the best reoperate with the plates 0 andc.

The chamber 0 is only required sults in the type that the surfaces whichcooperate to form the mold-cell should be absolutely true or as nearlyso as it is possible to make the same. It is also necessary that thesecell-surfaces against which the cast is made should be case-hardened. Inorder to insure these results, I employ the following method inconstructing the mold, to wit: I provide the soft-metal angle-block 0with its two parts formed as nearly as may be at right angles to eachother. I then prepare the case-hardened plates 0 with approximately truesurfaces and secure the same to the angle-block in proper workingposition,

with their lower edges at a sufficient height to permit thecase-hardened bottom plate 0 to be subsequently shoved thereunder. Ithen grind the plates 0 and the horizontal member ofthe angle-block c Asthe plates 0 are above the horizontal part of the angleblock 0 it isobvious that the grinding-tool will have room to work. The case-hardenedbottom plate 0 is then ground on both sides and applied in position, asshown in Fig. 15. By this means a perfect joint will be secured betweenthe members 0 and 0 with their face surfaces true and set at exactlyright angles to each other. The members 0 and c are first ground ontheir surfaces which cooperate when the said three parts are clampedtogether. The three parts 0 c are then clamped together and ground ontheir bottom surfaces and on their end surfaces, which co- The parts 0and c are then applied to the fixedsection of the mold and clampedthereto by the springbar a. The whole mold is then ground on its top. Inthis way a mold is secured with perfectly true surfaces. It should havebeen noted that the plunger 0 and the adjacent walls of the blocks 0',with which the plunger c cooperates, are also case-hardened. In grindingthe top of the mold slightly-raised surfaces (Z are left on the tops ofall the casehardened plates which cooperate to form the top surface ofthe mold. By reference to my prior patent, No. 530,481, it will be seenthat a two-way movable matrix-block, with the matrices thereof in rowsin two directions, is employed for cooperation with the typebody mold.The purpose of the raised surfaces d, just herein noted, on the mold isto insure a tight joint with the centered matrix when the block istightly clamped down thereto. Without the raised surfaces (Z dust ordirt might prevent the matrix-block from making a tight joint betweenthe matrix-wall and the top wall of the mold-cell.

The left-hand member of the movable block 0 is provided with a type-nickrib d", which works in a correspondinggroove in the plunger c. Forproducing in the type d a nick cl The angleblock 0 is also provided onits back with a countersunk seat 61 for a purpose which will laterappear.

The angle-block c is made fast to a bedplate 61 d part of which extendsoutward beyond the angle-block and constitutes a type-receiving ledgeonto which the type are delivered after being ejected from the mold, aswill presently be noted. The said bedplate 61 d is stepped or shoulderedto receive the angle-block 0 as shown best in Figs. 9 and 10, and whenthe bottom plate 0 is applied to the angle-block it makes a step betweenthe bottom of the mold-cell and the outwardly extended part (1 of thebed. Otherwise stated, the part d may be termed the type-receivingledge, and is located with its face ata lower level than the bottom ofthe mold-cell for permitting the type to be lowered below the topsurface of the mold after the type are ejected and thereby affordingclearance for the movement of the matrixblock into proper workingposition in respect to the mold. The means for pulling down or seatingthe ejected type onto the ledge d will be described after noting certainother features of the mold.

When the parts of the mold are in working position, as shown in Fig. l,the movable members are subject to a pair of pivoted levers 0 havingadjustable pins 0 adapted to engage alternately against the outersurfaces of the mold-blocks c for shifting the same from casting toejecting position and reversely. The said levers e are shifted by acam-rod 0 which is forked at its rearend to embrace the shaft 1) and isprovided with a roller working in a cam-channel onthe profile face ofcam-wheel The plunger 6 embraces the outer end of a pivoted cam-lever 0the rear end of which is provided with a roller engaging a peripheralchannel 0 in cam-wheel 3. Under the action of the lever e the plunger 0receives a positive in-andout motion with a throw of sufficient lengthfor ejecting the cast type and for then retreating sufficiently far toclear the fixed section of the mold. The plunger 0 simply embraces theend of the lever 0 without being pinned thereto and sufficient clearanceis afforded for the plunger 0 to be moved by a spring 0 crosswise ofsaid lever for assuming the proper position to determine the runningwidth of the type-face. To thus properly position the mold plunger 0 forthe proper type, the same is variably intercepted under its outwardspring movement by a series of electrically-controlled stops z, whichare arranged and actuated in the same way as in my prior patent.

The stops .2 are mounted in a block z and cooperate with a serrated orstepped stoplever .2 one end of which is pivoted to said block 2, asshown at a At its intermediate portion the stop-lever 2 is connected toa stop-slide 2', which is mounted for endwise movement in the block aand is so positioned that its forwardly-projecting end will interceptthe rearward or outward movement of the mold-plunger c. As shown, a pina connects said lever 5 to said slide 2 and a spring 2'", applied tosaid lever .2 and to said block 5, holds said slide against theprojecting end of said mold-plunger. It is obvious that by throwing updifferent members of the stops 2 the stop-lever 2 and slide c and hencealso the mold-plunger a, may be variably intercepted, so as to give atype of the desired face or width. The mechanism for controlling orsetting the stops z forms no part of my present invention and hence isnot shown. I

Under the shifting movement of the mold members 0 c by the cam-rod 0 thesaid parts are clamped together and against the righthand member of thepost 0 when in casting position, as shown in Fig. 1. When in thiscasting position, it is necessary that the said parts a 0 should bepositively clamped together and against some suitable bankingstop orbase of resistance in order to insure the necessary tight joint; butwhen the mold is moving from casting to ejecting position and reverselyit is desirable that the said parts 0 0 should be only yieldingly held,in order to afford sufficient freedom of movement to the plunger 0relative to the blocks 0'. In order to insure this result when themovable parts 0 c of the mold are in their ejecting position, I secureto the bottom of the right-hand block 0 a stop-bar 0 which works in acountersunk seat 0 in the bottom of the left-hand member of the blocksc.Under the movement of the blocks 0 into ejecting position the stop-bar 0will engage with a stop-lug or pin fixed to the angle-block 0 as shownin Fig. 12, while the left-hand block 0 is free to move over the top ofsaid stop-lug 0 Hence the clamping action from the outer member of thepivoted arm 0 and cam-rod 0 is taken on the right-hand member of theblocks 0, through the stop-bar 0 which works against the stop-lug 0Hence under the movement of the mold members 0 c from casting toejecting position and reversely the said parts 0 c are yieldingly held,only in respect to each other, by the draw-bolt c and the spring 0Freedom is therefore afforded for the movement of the plunger 0 in itsejecting and retreating actions. This is an important detail ofimprovement over the construction disclosed in my prior patent.

Returning now to the type-delivering devices, attention is speciallycalled to Figs. 1 to 8, inclusive. WVhile the type being ejected by themold-plunger e is still in the deliverychannel 01 of the fixedmold-section, it is engaged by a lever-arm d", the free end of which ismounted in the countersunk seat 61 for the same on the back of theangle-block 0 This lever-arm d has a rounded tip adapted to en gage inthe type-nick, and thereby become operative, first,to loosely clamp thetype against the opposite .wall of the delivery-channel d receivin g-ledge d in the angle-block c and then subsequently to lower the type andseat the same on the For this purpose the said lever-arm d is subject toa four-motion action-to wit, up and down motions and in and outmotionswithin its guideway d. The said lever d" is pivotally connectedto the upper end of a lever-(Z and is subject to a spring d", whichtends to raise the arm d to its limit in its guideway d". The lever c1is pivoted to abearing-plate 72 intermediate its extremities by a pin 01The lower end of the lever (Z is pivotally connected to a slide (Z whichis subject to the action of camwheel 4. A bell-crank lever (Z has itselbow pivoted to the fulcrum-pin d of the lever (Z The horizontal arm ofthe bell-crank d is connected by link (Z with the lever-arm d. The loweror vertical arm of the bell-crank (Z is subject to the action of a pin(1 on a slide d", which, like the slide c1 is subject to the action ofthe cam-wheel 4. The slides (Z and (Z are held up against the camwheel lby adjustable springs (Z and d respectively. \Vith this construction itwill be seen thatithe cam-wheel and the spring (Z operating on the slide(Z cooperate to rock the lever (Z on the pin (1, and thereby produce thein-and-out motion of the arm (Z within its guide-seat (1, while theaction of the spring (Z on the slide (Z is to rock the bell-crank lever(Z downward whenever so permitted by the cam-wheel 4. Thisdownward-rocking motion of the bell-crank (Z pulls the lever-arm ddownward against the tension of the s rin (Z and hence whenever thecam-wheel 4 forces the slide (Z toward the right against the slide'spring (Z the spring (1 will throw the arm 6Z upward to its limit in itsguideway d thereby rocking the bellcrank (Z upward and keeping the lowerarm of the same in contact with the slide-pin d. The roller (Z of theslide (Z is narrower than the roller (Z of the slide cl", so as tostagger the said two rollers (Z and 01 in the horizontal plane forpermitting the same to bear against different surfaces on the peripheryof the cam-wheel 4. Otherwise stated, the roller (Z has sufficient faceto overreach the entire face of the cam-wl1eel4,while the roller (Z onlyextends over a part of the same. This permits two dropping-points 4 and4 to be provided for the roller 01 while only a single dropping-point 4is required for the roller (Z The limit of up-and-down motion permittedto the lever cl" in the recess cl prevents the cam-surface at fromaffording any drop to the roller (Z The downward movement of the lever(Z and hence the inward movement of the slide 01 toward the cam, islimited by the lower wall of the guideway or seat (Z for the said leverd lVith this disposition of the parts it is obvious that the necessaryfour motions on the lever-arm (Z -will be produced under the rotarymotion of the cam-wheel 4. The results or effect thereof on the ejectedtype may be readily traced by inspection of Figs. 2, 3, G, 7, and 8 ofthe drawings. If we regard Fig. 2 as showing the normal position of thelever (Z or as the same would appear when holding the lastpreviously-ejected type down on the ledge (Z then Figs. 3, 6, 7, and 8will illustrate the four steps of motion or four different positionstaken by the said lever-arm cl under the actuating mechanism providedfor the same, as hereinbefore described. The first step from normal isshown in Fig. 3, wherein the said lever d has made its retreating stepaway from the last previously-ejected type under the action of thecam-wheel 4 and the slide (Z but the spring (Z is still operating tohold the said arm cl in its lowermost position. Otherwise stated, thelever (Z has retreated on the same level as when in normal position.(Shown in Fig. 2.) In Fig. 6 the parts are shown as they would appearafter the second step of motion or after the lever d had been movedupward to its limit in its guideway d. This occurred as soon as thecam-wheel 4 moved the slide d" outward against its spring (Zsuificiently far to permit the spring 02 to become active. In Fig. 7 theparts are shown as they would appear after the third step of movement oras they would appear when the lever d was just engaging the particulartype (Z then being ejected by the mold-plunger. This action occurs whilethe spring d is holding the lever-arm (Z in its uppermost positionwhenever the roller (1 on the slide c1 reaches the dropping-point 4 onthe cam-wheel 4:. In Fig. 8 the parts are shown as they would appearafter the fourth step of motion or as they would appear after the lever(Z had been pulled down to its lowermost position, thereby carrying downwith it the particular type engaged thereby and seating the same on thereceiving-ledge d This occurred the instant that the roller (Z passedoff from the high part of the cam d thereby rendering the spring (Zactive to rock the bell-crank lever 61 downward and through the link (Zto pull the arm (Z down therewith. Under thecontinued movement of thecam-wheel 4 the roller (6 next passes off to the drop 48, therebypermitting the spring (Z to throw the arm d forward to its limit andtightly clamp the ejected type in its ejected and seated position forholding the same, as shown in Fig. 2.

The type is ejected by the plunger 0 against the spring-heldabntmentrack f, and the mold-plunger 0 does not begin to retreat untilthe parts have assumed the position shown in Fig. 8 or, more accuratelystated,,until the roller d has reached the dropping-point 4: on theCflll1-Wl168l4. The point of the leverarm d only loosely engages thetype when the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 7 in order toafford freedom for the downward movement of the type when the parts movefrom the position shown in Fig. 7 into the position shown in Fig. 8.After the type has reached the position shown in Fig. 8, however, thesame may be tightly clamped by the lever-arm 01 against the .oppositewall of the delivery-channel (P, and this is desirable in order to holdthe type at the time when the mold-plunger begins to retreat.

\Vith the type-seating device and its actuating mechanism, as abovedescribed, it is obvious that adequate provision is made for engagingthe type as they are ejected from the mold and for seating the same at alower level in an upright position on the receivingledge d This typeseating or pullingdown device is an important improvement over theconstruction shown in my prior patent. With the mold mounted as shownthe type must be ejected at one level in line with the bottom of themold-cell and be lowered to a different level in the fixed part of themold or angleblock in orderto give clearance for the proper movements ofthe matrix-block which cooperates with the mold, as hitherto noted.Hence this type-seating device just hereinbefore described is animportant adjunct for insuring the proper delivery of the cast type fromthe mold into the line of assembly on the receiving-ledge (i The face ofthe receivingledge 61 is on a common level with the face of the bed orbottom plate of the galley f. In the movement of the type outward overthe ledge (Z thetype are guided by the movable galley head or filler fand a suitably-mounted disappearing rule f at the sides of the line andare ejected against the head of the abutment-rackf, as hitherto noted.At the proper time the rule f retreats downward out of the way by meansnot shown, and the galleyhead f is forced toward the right, therebypushing the assembled'line of type into the mouth of the galley againsta movable piece of furniture f Normally the galley-head f is held at theextreme left-hand limit of its motion by a spring j. A slide f ismounted on the bed-plate a of the machine and is subject to thecam-wheel 5 and a strong spring f Normally the cam-wheel f holds theslide f 6 at the extreme left against the tension of the spring f At theend of the line the clutch mechanism 1) b is tripped into action and thecam-wheel 5 is permitted to make a single turn, while the shaft 12 makestwo turns, as hitherto noted. Under the movement of the cam-wheel 5 theslide f is pulled toward the left against the tension of the spring fand in so doing operates the galley-head. For this purpose the slide fis provided with a pin f which engages the lower arm f of a pivotedleverf The other arm of the lever f engages a depending arm f on thegalleyhead f and moves the same, under the action of the slide f againstthe tension of the spring f These connections may be readily understoodfrom Figs. 1 and 9..

It has already been stated that the type are ejected by the mold-plunger0 against the spring-held abutment-rack f. The said rack f, as shown inFigs. 1 and 9, engages with a pinion f, fixed to shaft f and is subjectto setting the j ustifier.

a torsion-spring f wound about said shaft, which spring tends to turnthe shaft and pinion from the left toward the right with respect to theposition shown in Fig. 9. Otherwise stated, the spring f tends to throwthe abutment-rack f inward to its limit; but the shaft f is alsoprovided with a friction-disk f subject to a friction-pawl f The pawl fis normally held in engagement with the friction-disk f by a spring f.Hence under the action of the friction devices f and f the abutment-rackf will be held in whatever position it may be set by the mold-plunger cacting against the ejected type in the ejecting action. These frictiondevices f f for holding the abutment-rackconstitute an importantimprovement over my prior patent for the reason that slip and backlash,which would otherwise occur from a pawl and ratchet-wheel, is avoided.Hence there is no tendency from the abutment-rack f to backlash andthrow the type off their feet.

The pawl f is provided with a lateral stud f A releasing-slide f isnormally held by spring f away from the stud f, with its innerendbearing against an inclined cam-surface f on the slide of thegalley-head f Hence when the'galley-he'ad f is moved outward to push theline of type into the galley the said cam-surface f at the proper timeoperates on the releasing-slide f with the effect of forcing the sameagainst the stud j and rocking the pawl f away from the friction disk orwheel f. The said disk f and the abutment-rack inward into its normalposition ready for cooperation with the moldplungenfor the next line oftype.

It will of course be understood that only so much of the complete typecasting and setting machine has been illustrated in the drawings as wasdeemed desirable for the purpose of disclosing the improvements hereinclaimed. The parts omitted or imperfectly illustrated were not deemednecessary. Some of the parts shown performed various functions inaddition to those herein specifically considered. The cam-wheel 5, forexample, in addition to the function claimed cooperates in The cam-wheel2 operates the paper-strip-feed devices. The camwheel 1 (shown in dottedlines only) operates the matrix-block and the pump.
